In the first place one can build up no

of the star, and, stopping but one night
in town, no one is the wiser. The

that the distinguished actress, Mics $3.50,

they to know it really is Miss $3.50 who

for cur star five or six straight weeks
last winter ON account of sickness that
kept her away from the company, and
not single auditor ever knew the diff

A cloak for Ignorance.

Sudden deaths seem to increase with
frightful rapidity. In this connection !
might say that in many cases what ply
sicians call heart disease is successful
cloak for ignorance in the medical
world. A young on. even old physician
may be treating an individual without
any direct knowledge as to the character
Of his illness. Now, should the patient
pass off suddenly the physician can hide
his ignorance by simply saying his death
was due to heart disease. Physicians, of
course, know when patient has heart
disease, but often that is stated as the
cause of death when the patient was in
fact victim of some other disease which
his physician did not know.--Physician In

Elements of strength.

bad cookery, mental worry, late hours,
irregular habits, and many other things
which ought not to be, have made the

wonderful work in reforming this sad

THE PLEURO-PNEUMONIA.

Our Orwell correspondent writes:
'The pleuro-pneumonia among the cat
tie has greatly agitated our people for
few days past, but much has been said
that had no foundation whatever. The
facts about it are these: Eight head of
diseased cattle were slaughtered by the
commissioners, five of them belonging to
Calvin Hubbard and three to Wilbur
Root, which is the entire number of cat
tie slaughtered up to this time, and thus
far no more have been discovered having
the disease, except one, belonging to Mr..
Root, which shows slight symptoms and
is being kept closely confined and will
probably have to be slaughtered. Cattle
Commissioner Bissell visited the infected
neighborhood on Monday last and found
no new cases except as above stated. But
wild reports are being circulated, calcu-
lated to give great alarm. Your cores
pondent has taken pains to get at the
facts as above stated and they can be re-
lied upon, as well as the fact that Com
missioner Bissell is doing all in his pow
er to suppress the spread Of the disease
and has by the consent Of the Massachu-
sets commissioners given permits for
some fat cattle to be shipped to Boston
after being pronounced healthy cattle by
the efficient veterinary, DR.. Page of Man
chester, who has had this matter in
charge. Thus far no clue as to the source
of the disease has been obtained. Cattle
on the neighboring farms have shown nc
signs of being affected and it is hoped the
whole thing is under perfect control"

are the occasions for whisperings and
political gossip concerning the can

pany returned Editors Greene of the
Woodstock Standard, Benedict of the
Burlington Free Press, Stone of the st.
Johnsbury Caledonian, and three others,
including Mr.. Harris, had been discuss
ing politics more in a special way. 1t
was agreed among them to support Mr..
Harris for governor, and to push him
when the proper time came. As to the
candidate for the lieutenant-governor-
ship, their plans were not so definite, but
it was understood that Editor Benedict
should have the first refusal, and if he
thought it not best at present to enter
the political arena. then it should be offer
ed to some other Burlington man, Gen.
Henry, or some one Mr.. Benedict should
favor, These plans for the second office
were to be carried out in return for Ben
edict's support of Mr.. Harris for the first
place. Active and open work was to be
begun early next year, and then carried
on with ViTOr.

is three Pullman cars, the Alfaratta,
Telasco and Mr.. Pullman's private car,
re so connected as to form one contin-
Gus car. The private quarters of the
President and Mrs. Cleveland are in the
Pullman palace car-Mr. Pullman's
private car-which contains parlor, bed
Dom, dressing-room, and commodious
observatory" the walls of the latter
being almost entirely of plate-glass. This
will be the rear car after the train passes
Baltimore, affording its occupants from
fhe observatory and the wide safetyrailed
platform behind it an unobstructed view
bf the country. The middle car is in
general features patterned after the
familiar Pullman sleeper model, but en-
bodies in its details all the later improve
ments made by Mr.. Pullman. The first
Ear contains the smoking-room, library,
BARRIERS shop and bathroom. The train
is fresh from the shops and is newly up
holstered throughout in the richest o
velvets. The panelings and carvings of
oak, cherry and maple are in keeping with
the rest. Bric-a-brac, ferns and flowers
in vases and parlor organ are among the
incidentals of the trains furniture. Room
is found in corners, invisible to the pas
for an engine and dynamo, which
are to furnish electricity for lighting the
train and ringing its bells and for the
cooking range and entire outfit of first
